Month/Cycle: 9/8

CD/DPO: 32/1

Timing: -2, -1, 0

Typical LP length: on progesterone so at least 14

Testing: next weekend probably

R/R: Oh man, I’ve never been happier to move to the TWW! I have a feeling that FF will call Sunday O, but I’m fairly confident that it was yesterday. Regardless, it finally happened yay! Not too much going on today. It’s super dreary outside, and I think the tropical storm is scheduled to hit us mid-morning.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: all the days 😂

Typical LP length: last month was 18-19

Testing: next week sometime

R/R: ugh up late working last night and I'm already stressed about how crazy today will be with meetings and stuff I NEED to get done for other things and later meetings that I didn't while I spent 2+hrs working late last night. I was so over yesterday from a work perspective I didn't have the energy to cook a real dinner so I made chocolate chip buckwheat pancakes with strawberries and blueberries on top and scrambled eggs for dinner

ETA chart. Nothing super interesting.

CS/Q:

@kvh22 love breakfast for dinner!! Sorry work is being stressful!

chindimples04 · August 2020

@runningoncookies Yayy for O! I’d be confident in saying yesterday, too!
@kvh22 Um, that breakfast for dinner sounds perfect? I would have gladly had that!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 29/10

Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, O

Typical LP length: last cycle 10.5

Testing: not again until Thursday if af does show tomorrow

R/R: heading to my classroom this morning to unpack and organize. Really looking forward to seeing my room and getting a feel for it all.

CS/Q: Big temp dip. Pretty sure I’m out. Just waiting for af at this point. 💔

kvh22 · August 2020

@runningoncookies SO happy to see you over here! I agree with yesterday, too (and would err on the side of later for sanity if/when testing).

@chindimples04 ugh that is such a weird temp dip. I'm so sorry but still holding out hope you. I know AF tmrw would be the same LP as last month but is that shorter for you in general? Could it be LPD? It's something I look out for when in the same situation (happy to move over to TFAS to chat more about it). I think 10 or 11 days is the minimum so you'd be on the line.

optimisticoctopus · August 2020

@chindimples04 good luck getting your room all set up!

priyadoc · August 2020

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 27/3

Timing: -4, -2, -1

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: I'm not sure.

R/R: I'm just happy to be here!! Haven't ovulated in over 2 months and I got a perfect LH spike, so I hope that's a good sign (last cycle was anovulatory). This is the first month that I will be using the Proov strips. There's some conflicting information online so I just want to confirm that you all are using them 7-10 days after ovulation, correct?
Rant: It's already been a busy morning at work because my usual scheduling guy is gone this week, and his replacement already managed to mess up my morning schedule and have two patients put in for the same time. Also, no one called to let them know the appointments are still over video, so two people drove to the clinic!! I feel so bad, but it's also someone else's job to call them which they didn't do.

CS/Q: none. Hoping my timing was good enough.

@runningoncookies Yay I'm so happy you O'ed!! Like you, I'm super happy to be here this time

@kvh22 Your dinner sounds delicious. Good luck getting through the busy day!!

@chindimples04 Good luck getting organized!! Hope you love your room

Edited for clarity

chindimples04 · August 2020

AF showed up. A day early. 9.5 dpo. 😭😭😭💔💔💔

kadeephd · August 2020

@chindimples04 I'm sorry

@runningoncookies hooray for O!

@priyadoc Your timing looks great to me!

@kvh22 I love breakfast for dinner. Sorry work is stressful though. I've been so unmotivated to work lately.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 23/4

Timing: -5, -1, 0

Typical LP length: not sure

Testing: August 10

R/R: I'm trying to think of something to rave about because I feel like I always choose rant. Hm. I guess I recently was introduced to this super yummy eggplant recipe that I am excited to try to replicate at home. My MIL made it during our visit and it was soooo good. I feel like I'm constantly making the same stuff for dinner so it's good to find new recipes to add to the rotation.

CS/Q: None right now. I'm wishing I had been temping so I could see if my temp is dropping but instead I'm just waiting, trying to be patient. Not my strong suit.

priyadoc · August 2020

@kadeephd Eggplant sounds yummy!! Temping is so hard for me to do because I spring awake at the last possible second before work and need to get ready

Also because I tend to wake up at nighttime as well.

@chindimples04 Ugh I'm so sorry

kvh22 · August 2020

@kadeephd yea I have no chill and would be so mad at myself if I didn't temp b/c my cycles aren't regular after BCP. I know it helps some people relax but I would go crazier. And I have an eggplant in the fridge (accidentally ordered 2 instead of 1 in my produce box and used one for ratatouille) so might need to make that. What did your MIL serve it with? As a side or the main? I have all of those ingredients

@chindimples04 I'm so sorry!

@priyadoc I just started Proov this cycle. I did my baseline and then took one at what ended up being 2dpo to confirm O. I don't always wake up at the exact same time and wasn't 100% sure if I ovulated last cycle since I changed my thermometer batteries the day before I got a temp spike. Plus an 18 or 19 day LP I worried I might have had an an-O cycle. I loved being able to use one strip to confirm that my progesterone was lower than my baseline and had therefore ovulated and could stop with the ED HIO

I will probably use one at 7dpo and one at 10dpo and save my last few (I think that'd be 4 left since I bought the 2 month pack) to confirm O in future cycles.

Also, I was up earlyish this morning and made ham and gruyere crepes and strawberry banana nutella crepes for breakfast and it was just what I needed to decompress before my crazy day. And I feel better after firing up my computer and realizing that I did a lot of what I needed to do last night and am in a good spot (still a busy day today, though).

kadeephd · August 2020

@kvh22 It was a big meal she made on the grill, but the eggplant was mostly for me bc I don't eat meat. She had a grain salad with feta that I ate it with and it went well with that.

sienna221 · August 2020

@chindimples04 Ugh, so sorry.

@kvh22 now I want breakfast for dinner tonight!

@kadeephd I’m going to try this recipe. Always looking for good vegetarian meal to sneak in for DH.

@priyadoc Your timing is similar to mine so fingers crossed we got it right! Haha
@runningoncookies yay for O!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 32/11

Timing: -5, -2, -1

Typical LP length: Not Sure

Testing: Friday or Saturday

R/R: Weather is gloomy again which is no fun. And with sports back on, I feel like all DH has had on the TV is basketball, golf, soccer, or baseball 🤣. But just happy it’s finally almost time to test. Although I woke up with night sweats last night which is usually happens before I get AF so not feeling optimistic

CS/Q: I know I kind of already asked this yesterday. But what does everyone prefer: FRER or CB digital? Would you start with one over the other?

kvh22 · August 2020

@sienna221 (edited b/c I tagged the wrong sienna...no idea who the other one is) I've always used FRER and never CB Digital *TW pregnancy* no idea how expensive the CB digitals are.

I got a clear positive on FRER at 11 or 12dpo in 2018. I O'ed on CD 37 so my OB sent me for betas to get a number that aligned with how far along I should be to date the pregnancy but if you have a weird cycle it could be helpful to have the ranges from CB digital or use it after FRER for that reason which is what I've seen a few friends do. Just my opinion.

Amphibious22 · August 2020

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 21/7

Timing: every day! So much sex..

Typical LP length: still too early to say

Testing: gonna try and wait until the day after my period is due, so next wednesday.

R/R: I'm really happy with how much sex we've had and it has me feeling hopeful for this cycle, but it's only our second cycle trying so I need to get these emotions under control. Nothing really to rant about other than how hot it is. I've been melting at work all week.
